Gauahar Khan On SRK: His Humility Defines His Stardom

MUMBAI (IANS) – Actress Gauahar Khan recently recounted her early interactions with superstar Shah Rukh Khan, highlighting specific moments that, to her, capture the true essence of his enduring stardom.

The 14 Phere actress emphasized his grace, respect, and humility both on and off stage. Khan revealed how even small gestures from Shah Rukh Khan left a lasting impression, showcasing the qualities that make him not just a beloved actor but a remarkable human being whose influence extends beyond the screen.

Reflecting on her early career, Gauahar remembered hosting a show where Shah Rukh Khan was present during the shoot of Fauji 2. It was backstage, she said, that she witnessed the legendary actor’s humility firsthand.

“We didn’t have any contact with Fauji,” she shared. “But yes, when Fauji 2 was releasing, the first kit was sent to Shah Rukh sir. But during Fauji‘s shoot, I actually had the privilege to host a show where he was. And the respect he gave me backstage, the way he talked to me on stage, and the way he talks to his friends—that is his greatness. And it is because of such small things that he is such a big superstar. Because he touches the hearts of people.”

Gauahar went on to express how, years later, he still greets her with warmth and affection, something she deeply treasures. She also shared her pride and gratitude in being part of the same Fauji legacy, a story she plans to pass down to her children.

“And today I am saying this because I will remember it for the rest of my life. Whenever I meet him, even after so many years, he meets me with so much love,” she added. “For me, it is enough that in Fauji 1, there was Shah Rukh Khan, and in Fauji 2, there was Gauahar Khan. I will tell this to my children all my life. And by adding this legacy to them, I am very happy and grateful to Allah.”

Gauahar Khan made her fiction TV debut with “Fauji 2“, the sequel to Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic 1989 show.
